All-Flash #27 (February–March 1947): “Fighting Over Fish” and “A Boat Can Be Bad Business,” Robert Kanigher

Completeness: My first-hand knowledge of the Golden Age series is still incomplete, but this is probably a full list of Deuce’s appearances. The Flash Companion lists the same four in its article on Gardner Fox. The title page for All-Flash 10 mentions “introducing ‘Deuces’ Wilde,” confirming it as his first appearance.

Barry Allen’s boss in the Central City Police department. Took over after his predecessor, Paulson, was exposed as part of a drug-running operation. Inspired by the Flash, Frye decided to take on the life of a super-hero as well. Despite his poor physical fitness and bad heart (he needed a pacemaker), he became Captain Invincible, and took a non-plussed Barry Allen into his confidence (Flash #314). The only thing worse than his super-heroic antics was his fashion sense. Still in charge of the Central City Crime Lab today.

Lawyer who represented the second Flash, Barry Allen in his trial for manslaughter after he killd Professor Zoom. She took the case when her colleague was seriously injured by a rival. Initially she hated her client, because she blamed him for the death of her father. Several years earlier, Goldface had threatened to kill one police officer each day until the Flash surrendered Central City. Goldface’s first target was her father. Eventually she discovered that Goldface had not warned the Flash in advance, as he claimed, and she accepted that the Flash was not responsible.

Though Horton dealt with her client strictly as the Flash, she was able to deduce his identity during the trial.

Next-door neighbor of Barry and Iris Allen, who lived with his parents Fred and Ethel, and his older brother. At the age of 13, Barney was a comic book fan and aspiring artist, and bonded with Barry over that hobby. On one occasion, a wraith-like space explorer drew his concept for a “master villain” from his imagination, and made the villain real, causing the Flash no end of trouble (Flash #248–249).

According to The Life Story of the Flash, Barney went on to become the popular artist on the in-universe Justice League of America comic book.
